Time immemorial communities like the agro-pastoral communities of Otuke have interacted with their traditional environment and learned to study its behavior to predict and foretell weather and its changes.

This is their ‘Indigenous way of weather forecasting’.

We welcome you to CARE International in Uganda Annual Report combining Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017. It has been an exceptionally challenging but equally rewarding two years where our humanitarian mandate took over our long term development work as Uganda saw hundreds of refugees from South Sudan cross the border in search of refuge and protection. Despite our heavy attention on the refugee situation, we continued our long term development program from which we also borrowed approaches and models for our humanitarian response. Our financial inclusion, women’s economic empowerment and natural resources governance programs carried on while putting their expertise at the disposal of our growing humanitarian portfolio in search of more gender responsive durable and holistic solutions.
